7 Epson SureColor T-Series User Guide Introduction Always turn the product off using the Power button on the control panel. When this button is pressed, the Power light flashes briefly then goes off. Do not unplug the power cord or turn off the product until the Power light stops flashing. Note on this Guide Meaning of Symbols When handling the ink cartridges! Warning: Warnings must be followed to avoid serious bodily injury. Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children and do not drink. If ink gets on your skin, wash it off with soap and water. If it gets in your eyes, flush them immediately with water. Before installing the new ink cartridge in the printer, shake it back and forth horizontally in five centimeter movements about 15 times within five seconds. Use the ink cartridge before the date printed on its package. Use up the ink cartridge within a year of installation for best results. Do not dismantle the ink cartridges or try to refill them. This could damage the print head. Do not touch the IC chip on the side of the cartridge. This may affect normal operation and printing. The IC chip on this ink cartridge retains a variety of cartridge-related information, such as the ink cartridge status, so that the cartridge may be removed and reinserted freely. However, each time the cartridge is inserted, some ink is consumed because the printer automatically performs a reliability check. If you remove an ink cartridge for later use, protect the ink supply area from dirt and dust, and store it in the same environment as this product. Note that there is a valve in the ink supply port, making covers or plugs unnecessary, but care is needed to prevent the ink from staining items that the cartridge touches. Do not touch the ink supply port or surrounding area.

19 Epson SureColor T-Series User Guide Introduction Loading two roll papers and increasing productivity (T7270D/T5270D) You can load roll paper at two locations, Roll 1 (upper section) and Roll 2 (lower section). This feature increases productivity in the following manner. Because you can load different types of roll paper in Roll 1 and Roll 2, specify the media type on the printer driver during printing, and switch printing between Roll 1 and Roll 2, you do not need to reset the paper every time you change the media type. U Switching to Roll 1/Roll 2 by Paper Type on page 93 The printer driver offers a line drawing mode, making it easier to optimize printing for line drawing and, through unsurpassed reproduction of line drawing and fine lines in the form of connected lines, diagonals, and curves, ensuring the best possible results when the printer is used for drawings. Vivid, highly lightfast posters and displays *2 ur new magenta ink improves the reds so important to posters, making them even more noticeable. The printer driver offers a poster mode that simplifies the printing of vivid posters. Posters with vivid hues can be printed simply by selecting poster mode. If you load different sizes of roll paper in Roll 1 and Roll 2 in advance, the printer switches to the roll paper with the smaller margin during printing automatically in accordance with the document size of the print job. This feature makes it easy to conserve paper. U Switching to Roll 1/Roll 2 by Document Size on page 95 When you load the same types and sizes of roll paper in Roll 1 and Roll 2 in advance, and the printer determines that the roll paper remaining is shorter than the print length, it switches to the roll paper that is longer than the print length automatically and continues printing. This feature allows continuous unattended operation. U Switching to Roll 1/Roll 2 by Roll Length on page 96 Thanks to the pigmented inks used for all colors, the results are highly water-resistant and can be used for short-term outdoor display. They are also extremely lightfast and fade-resistant and can be safely displayed in direct sunlight. *1 When you are printing for outdoor use, use lamination processing. *2 It is not possible to obtain the same results for all paper. Easy to Use Spindle-free roll paper adapter makes loading roll paper a snap The lack of a spindle makes it possible to load and remove roll paper even in environments where space is at a premium.

If it is not stored correctly, you may not be able to print properly the next time it is used. Note the following points when using this printer to avoid breakdowns, malfunctions, and print quality decline. When using the printer, observe the operating temperature and humidity range described in the "Specifications Table". U Specifications Table on page 213 Even when the conditions above are met, you may not be able to print properly if the environmental conditions are not suitable for the paper. Be sure to use the printer in an environment where the paper's requirements are met. For more details, see the documentation supplied with the paper. Also, when operating in dry areas, air conditioned environment, or under direct sunlight, maintain If you do not print for a long time, the print head nozzles may become clogged. We recommend that you print once a week to prevent the print head from clogging. The roller may leave an impression on paper that is left in the printer. This can also cause wavy or curled paper resulting in paper feeding problems or the print head could be scratched. Remove any paper when storing. Store the printer after confirming that the print head has been capped (the print head is positioned at the far right). If the print head is left uncapped for a long time, the print quality may decline. 21

22 Epson SureColor T-Series User Guide Introduction Note: If the print head is not capped, turn the printer on, and then turn it off. To prevent the accumulation of dust and other foreign matter in the printer, close all covers before placing it in storage. If the printer will be not be used for an extended period, protect it with an anti-static cloth or other cover. The print head nozzles are very small, and they can become clogged easily if fine dust gets on the print head, and you may not be able to print properly. When turned on after an extended period of disuse, the printer may automatically perform head cleaning to ensure print quality. Head cleaning will end after about 10 to 15 minutes. Do not leave the printer without ink cartridges installed. The ink in the printer may dry, preventing it from printing as expected. Leave ink cartridges in all slots even while you do not use the printer. The ink level and other data are stored in the IC chip, allowing cartridges to be used after being removed and replaced. To avoid getting dirt on the ink supply port, store the removed ink cartridge properly. The ink supply port has a valve in it so it does not need to be capped. Removed ink cartridges may have ink around the ink supply port, so be careful not to get any ink on the surrounding area when removing the cartridges. To maintain the quality of the print head, this printer stops printing before ink cartridges are completely expended. Notes on handling ink cartridges Note the following points when handling ink cartridges to maintain good print quality. The supplied ink cartridges and Ink Maintenance Tank are for use during the initial charging. The supplied ink cartridges and Ink Maintenance Tank will be require replacement relatively quickly. We recommend that ink cartridges be stored at room temperature out of direct sunlight and used before the expiry date printed on the packaging. To ensure good results, use all the ink in the cartridge within a year of installation. Ink cartridges that have been stored at low temperatures for an extended period should be allowed to return to room temperature over a period of four hours. Do not touch the IC chips on the tops of the ink cartridges. You may not be able to print properly. Install all ink cartridges into each slot. You cannot print if any of the slots are empty. Although the ink cartridges may contain recycled materials, this does not affect printer function or performance. Do not dismantle or remodel ink cartridges. You may not be able to print properly. Do not drop or knock ink cartridges against hard objects; otherwise, the ink may leak. Notes on handling paper Note the following points when handling and storing the paper. If the paper is not in good condition, print quality may decline. Check the documentation supplied with each paper. Notes on handling Use Epson special media under normal room conditions (temperature: 59 to 77 F (15 to 25 C), humidity: 40 to 60%). Do not fold the paper or scratch the surface of the paper. Avoid touching the printable surface of the paper with your bare hands. Moisture and oils from your hands can affect print quality. 22

23 Epson SureColor T-Series User Guide Introduction Handle paper by the edges. We recommend wearing cotton gloves. Changes in temperature and humidity may cause paper to become wavy or curled. Be careful not to scratch or soil the paper, and flatten it before loading it in the printer. Do not wet the paper. Do not throw away the paper packaging as you can use it for storing the paper. Avoid locations that are subject to direct sunlight, excessive heat, or humidity. Keep cut sheets in their original package after opening, and keep them in a flat place. Remove roll paper that is not in use from the printer. Rewind it correctly and then store it in the original packaging that came with the roll paper. If you leave the roll paper in the printer for a long time, its quality may decline. Note: Typically, print outs and photos fade over time (color distortion) due to the effects of light and various constituents in the air. This also applies to Epson special media. However, with the correct storage method, the degree of color distortion can be minimized. See the documentation supplied with Epson special media for detailed information on handling the paper after printing. The colors of photos, posters, and other printed materials appear different under different lighting conditions (light sources * ). The colors of print outs from this printer may also appear different under different light sources. * Light sources include sunlight, fluorescent light, incandescent light, and other types. Notes on handling printed paper To maintain long lasting, high quality print results, note the following points. Do not rub or scratch the printed surface. If they are rubbed or scratched, the ink may peel off. Do not touch the printed surface; failure to observe this precaution may cause ink to rub off. Make sure the print outs are completely dry before folding or stacking; otherwise, the color may change where they touch (leaving a mark). These marks will disappear if they are separated immediately and dried; however, they will remain if not separated. If you put the print outs in an album before they are completely dry, they may be blurred. Do not use a dryer to dry the print outs. Avoid direct sunlight. Prevent color distortion while displaying or storing the print outs by following the instructions in the paper's documentation. 23

The top area may become slightly uneven depending on the image since the print operation stops while cutting the top edge of the roll paper. Explanation If the cut position is misaligned slightly, small parts of the image may be shown on the top or bottom of the adjacent pages. If this occurs, perform Adjust Cut Position. U The Maintenance Menu on page 146 When you print one page only or print one page multiple times, the operation is the same as that for Double Cut. When continuously printing multiple sheets, the printer cuts 1 mm inside on the top edge of the first page and the bottom edge of the subsequent pages to avoid showing margins. The printed paper is approximately 2 mm shorter than the specified size since the printer cuts the paper inside the image to avoid showing top and bottom margins. After cutting the bottom edge of the previous page, the printer feeds the paper, and then cuts the top edge of the following page. Although this produces 60 to 127 mm cut-off pieces, the cut is more accurate. 100

115 Color Management Printing Color Management Printing About Color Management Even when using the same image data, the original image and the displayed image may look different, and the printed results may look different to the image you see on the display. This occurs due to the difference in characteristics when input devices such as scanners and digital cameras capture colors as electronic data, and when output devices such as display screens and printers reproduce colors from the color data. The color management system is a means to adjust differences in color conversion characteristics among input and output devices. A color management system is included with operating systems such as Windows and Mac S, in addition to image processing applications. Windows and S X include the ICM and ColorSync color management systems, respectively. In a color management system, a color definition file called a "Profile" is used to perform color matching between devices. (This file is also called an ICC profile.) The profile of an input device is called an input profile (or source profile), and the profile of an output device, such as a printer, is called a printer profile (or output profile). A profile is prepared for each media type in this printer's driver. The color conversion areas by the input device and the color reproduction area by the output device differ. As a result, there are color areas that do not match even when performing color matching using a profile. In addition to specifying profiles, the color management system also specifies conversion conditions for areas where color matching failed as "intent". The name and type of intent vary depending on the color management system you are using. You cannot match the colors on the printed results and display by color management between the input device and the printer. To match both colors, you need to perform color management between the input device and the display as well. Color Management Print Settings You can perform color management printing using this printer's printer driver in the following two ways. Choose the best method according to the application you are using, the operating system environment, the aim of the print out, and so on. Setting color management with the applications This method is for printing from applications that support color management. All color management processes are carried out by the application's color management system. This method is useful when you want to obtain the same color management print results using a common application among different operating system environments. U Setting color management with the applications on page 116 Setting color management with the printer driver The printer driver uses the operating system's color management system and carries out all color management processes. You can make color management settings in the printer driver using the following two methods. Host ICM (Windows) / ColorSync (S X) Set when printing from applications that support color management. This is effective in producing similar print results from different applications under the same operating systems.
